In life as

In love what

You end up

With is less

About what you

Want and more

About what you

Need don’t waste

Your precious life

Chasing desire and

Instead be a

Loving magnet for

Then those in

Need of that

Will simply always

Come to you

So few understand

Me many think

By reading these

Words they know

But I’m like

A pond both

Still and prone

To iciness don’t

Skate on my

Chill instead tread

Softly because while

You may crack

My thin layer

I will seduce

You pulling you

Under instead swim

In my summerness

Where warmth and

Soothing water will

Leave you buoyant

You entered my

Life like spring

Full of blossom

And promise next

You were like

Summer full of

Sunshine and heat

Now we’ve cooled

Like the crisp

Winds of Autumn

Full of color

And next we’ll

Behave like winter

Complete with celebration

And the warmth

Of togetherness until

Then let us

Enjoy each other

Like the seasons

As they come

I don’t write

To you anymore

Though thinking I

Do I wonder

If this absence

Is like far

Off thunder warning

Of storms or

If you’ve simply

Evaporated like a

Tide pool in

The blazing sun

Of my mind
